Answer:

Smaller Number = 25

Bigger Number = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller number be x

Let the bigger number be y

x + y = 75

x = 1/2y

Now we can substitute 1/2y for x

1/2y + y = 75

1 1/2 y = 75

y = 50

The bigger number is 50

The smaller number is 1/2 of 50, which equals 25
